There are about 75 seed potatoes out there, but not all of them were up yet....maybe 60-70% of them were. I have a few more in containers, but only one plant was up and froze. Seed potatoes go on sale here the beginning of March. I doubt there are any to be found this late in the season, so if I had to replant I'd have to take a chance on store bought organic potatoes. Or the volunteers that are popping up all over from last year, LOL!Annie*s Grannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04772261218172078099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5597627580631284872.post-5996718344901257632013-04-18T07:37:37.695-07:002013-04-18T07:37:37.695-07:00Sounds like you're coming right along with you...Sounds like you're coming right along with your garden, 1st Man!
